My one issue is that the home button is very stiff. Horrible to execute a multi task double tap. Going to be the worst apple store experience trying to swap this out. "Oh your working home button doesn't feel right"
 
Well considering so far only 2 pages in this thread of problems is just great so far compared to what they sold!!

BUT for the ones that do Have issues I know your pain, I had a 4s that had that yellow screen and NOTHING WORKED (I TRIED everything), BUT a swap!!!!

we pay really high prices for apple products, and we should get perfect products, so back they go for perfect ones, and if anyone complains on here about any of you doing so, let them buy it from you so they can live with it!!

Same here, left side of the bezel there is an air bubble under the glass. When I push on it the bubble moves so it's probably due to the screen not being adhered properly to the frame.
 
Picked up my second 6 64GB Space Grey - week 35 this time same factory (C3) and yup - dead pixel in the same area as the last one had what I thought was dust - but less yellow at the top right.

So back goes number two. Much as I love Apple and their products, this is becoming a new product launch pattern. Time to sit it our for a few weeks I think.

Sigh.

still waiting for my 6+. Hope it won't have any issue. If I do, I'd rather go return and buy a new one. Don't like the white box...

Yeah I agree - I never do exchanges - if you do, you eventually run out of the 14 day return policy and end up taking the best of a bad bunch.
 
SIM card tray

I did the in-store pickup and the first iPhone 6 they brought out for me had an issue with the SIM card tray. It was stuck half way from coming out. Couldn't access the SIM card. Ended up getting a new phone thankfully that so far works flawlessly.

Same here, I still have yet to activate/peel off the plastic as I still do not have a case/screen protector but pressing the home button is a hassle, very stiff. Maybe it will loosen up in a few days.
 
If you do a replacement online, do they send you a new sealed phone or one of the white box replacements?
 
blotchy backlight at the top

mine has a couple of dark spots up top only slightly noticeable, looks like backlight issues.

iPhone 6-16GB-White/Silver
My backlight is also blotchy at the top of the screen. It's most noticeable on lighter colored backgrounds i.e. white. I have slight yellowing towards the bottom sides of the phone, which is more pronounced on the left side than white. I've played the screen game before though and most of the time folks say they don't notice anything when requesting an exchange...

I have slightly uneven backlight at the top of the screen. Will probably try to swap out but hate the risk of dead pixels more. I'll see how it sits with me over the weekend!

I do too, but also would not want to risk an exchange for hot/dead pixels. It looks like it may just be a characteristic of these displays.

That looks like a white blotch that's also common on MacBook LCDs. I forgot what they're called but they are supposed to be a physical artifact, not a lighted or dead pixel. Hope you get it replaced quickly.

Light leak.

How do you get a replacement online? Chat to one of the reps on the support page or is there a form/page you have you fill out?
Click to expand...

Just give them a call and theyll arrange for a collection and also send one right away, you can keep your current one till the replacement arrives

I went through 3 iphone 6 yesterday. Kept the 3rd one. HOW DID U MANAGE A FREE CASE?
I have tried 3 times over phone, no gain! :|
 
My 6, 64GB Space Gray has the worst yellow tint. It's maddening. I want to throw this mass produced pile of crap across the house. **** Apple.

So much rush production starting to think do Apple even have a QC team.
I really do hope I'm not going with around 4 -5 returns to get a working phone.
